I just like seeing people. I just like meeting people. I like finding out new walks of life and new ideas.

The kid is the best thing that ever happened to me.

If I can make a teacher's salary doing comedy, I think that's better than being a teacher.

You get sick of jokes, you know. Either I do them on TV, and then you worry, like, "Oh, everyone's gonna see it," so you chuck it, or you just get sick of saying it. After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.

I'm happier in the way a guy gets happier when he starts to mature. It doesn't make things easier, but I'm so much better at handling them.

Everyone who wants to make it in comedy goes to L.A., so a million comedians fight for time on three stages. If you get in there in New York, you're working eight times a night sometimes. Who's going to be funny, the guy who works once a week, or the guy working eight times a night?

I still think people do have racial hang-ups, but I think one of the reasons I can joke about it is people are shedding those racial hatreds.
